We’ve been busy this summer! No, we haven’t been in school, but the team has been working hard to spread STEM in our community.

In early June, we hosted our summer camps – Lego, VEX, and Java. Over 50 middle school students spent an exciting 4 days working with Walton Robotics team members learning about robotics and programming – LabView, RobotC, and Java. Students also were treated to leadership and team building activities. Water balloons were fun on a hot afternoon!

After a busy week of camps, our team leadership went on an overnight retreat, led by the awesome Mrs. Boler, our business mentor. We discussed our mission, business plan, important activities, and our team calendar. Exhausting and exhilarating! 15 students and 5 mentors attended this amazing workshop.
